What a special day at the grand opening of the newly renovated Marcus Garvey Academy Library.
We were honored to be part of this incredible transformation through the mural we created, while our mother, author Susan Wade, was featured as part of the Detroit Public Schools literacy program. Her book, The Adventures of Roscoe the Rottweiler, can be found in over 200 DPS libraries across the city.
As Detroit Public Schools alumni, this experience was especially meaningful for our family and made the opportunity to give back through art and literacy even more rewarding.
From sharing the inspiration behind the mural with students to celebrating literacy, creativity, and culture, it was a meaningful experience for our entire family.
Thank you to , the generous supporters of this project, and everyone who helped bring this vision to life.
Seeing the library featured on makes the moment even more special.
